Roasted Garlic Mushroom Quinoa

My Roasted Garlic Mushroom Quinoa comes together with just 6 ingredients in 2 easy steps. It is vegan, gluten free, and makes for a delicious plant based main or side dish.

Friends, do you know the situation when you’re hungry and just have a few things in the pantry? You might be tempted to order a pizza or pasta. But that’s not the thing I want. Yes, I’m into food of which I really know what’s inside.

I created this Quinoa recipe when I had found my pantry almost empty. I’m hungry and all in my pantry is empty space.

Of course, all supermarkets are closed, best situation ever. Hungry and nothing at home. Almost nothing.

But I can happily say I turned this around. With whatever little was left, it turned out so super delicious that I just have to share this dish with you guys.

I’m hooked now. I have a totally soft spot for it, maybe it’s called love at first side. No joke, I could eat this Roasted Garlic Mushroom Quinoa almost every day and for sure it’s a compliment as a side dish with some other veggies, marinated tofu and so much more.

This is the dish that you can serve all your guests on thanksgiving this year. Whether side dish or main dish, it’s always delicious and you can never go wrong or get bored with it.

Of course it’s not only delicious on thanksgiving. It will be amazing the whole year thanks to ingredients that are available the whole year. 6 Ingredients and 2 easy steps and we call it dinner.

I hope you all love this empty pantry solution, Roasted Garlic Mushroom Quinoa, as much as I do.

It’s savory, garlicky, flavorful, creamy thanks to tahini, extremely satisfying, versatile, easy, thanksgiving approved, just for the whole year and so delicious.

Now get into your kitchen and make my Roasted Garlic Mushroom Quinoa. Let me show you how to do it. First cook the quinoa according to the manufacturer’s directions.

While the quinoa is cooking, heat a skillet with a splash of olive oil, or vegetable broth for oil free cooking. Add onions, mushrooms, cook until golden and lightly browned.

Mix in the tahini, tamari, roasted garlic cloves, and cooked quinoa to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook until it’s warm and smells good, thanks to roasted garlic, done.

It’s tempting to eat straight from the skillet. Or just serve on plates, but maybe the hunger is bigger so just eat straight from the skillet and enjoy.

I can happily confirm this is by far my new favorite dish. Because it’s so easy done in no time and it just comes together spontaneously, but it turned out so delicious.

The combination from roasted garlic, hearty and earthy quinoa, and creamy tahini is just the best and so incredibly flavorful and, oh boy, so fingerlicking good.

Enjoy and say yes to this flavorful and so delicious Roasted Garlic Mushroom Quinoa

Only recently I stumbled across the magic health wonders of mushrooms. Not only delicious as you could already see in my Roasted Garlic Tahini Crostini and Greek Baked Zititand more. Just hop over to the search function and type mushroom for the full experience.

Mushrooms are good, especially in the fall times when it gets darker. They are a good source of vitamin D and can boost your immune system.

Mushrooms are full of antioxidants, and can keep your metabolism running on a high. There is so much more. Read up on it in this article “5 Health Benefits of Mushrooms“.
